I was just backing up what you yourself just said about aftermarket bearings just 2 posts previous ! so no need to get snippy bro , I know its the Novarossi thread ! I just wanted to say that I share your exact thoughts on "crappy"ceramics ! I have seen the balls break apart more then once

"Crappy ceramics fail sooner , novarossis ceramics last much longer, guaranteed "

"There are no better bearings on the market ! Period "

I have no reason to doubt you at all , they are just quite expensive...definitely a slick idea you have putting ceramic balls into the Nova steel races, do you also use Nova ceramic balls as well ?
